 Carolyn E. Lewis, OPA


 

A commendable quality of Lewis' work is the feeling one experiences of actually being in the scene while viewing her strongly designed landscapes.

Lewis continues, "...but most of all, I enjoy the process of creating art and communicating the atmosphere and drama of my subject."
